Artwork Statement
These textile pieces engage in a dialogue about nature conservation; constructed from glass and plastic—waste materials that severely impact natural life—they approach environmentalism and recycling from a fresh perspective. The focus here is not on fibers that decompose and return to the ecological cycle, but rather on rigid, glass-like fabrics that aspire to perish over time while reinventing themselves within a space. The artist enjoys blurring the boundaries between art, fashion, and craft, often playing with the dual nature of the objects. This creates a direct link to artisanal garments and fantasy fashion, allowing many pieces to double as necklaces or bracelets.
